d&b audiotechnik V8

Take the widely coveted consistent mids and vocal presence of the d&b audiotechnik J-Series, then combine them with the proven qualities of a Q-Series and the result is the V-Series: a mid-sized, 3-way passive design, line array suitable for any sound genre. The system comprises the V8 and V12 loudspeakers supported by a dedicated V subwoofer which incorporates the d&b patented passive cardioid technology.

The V8 and V12 loudspeakers are 3-way passive designs, which allows four cabinets to be driven from one D12 amplifer while producing 139dB SPLmax. Each cabinet houses two 10” LF drivers, one hornloaded 8” MF driver and two 1.4” exit HF compression drivers with 2” voicecoils mounted to a dedicated waveshaping device.  The symmetrical dipolar arrangement of the neodymium LF drivers around the centrally mounted coaxial MF and HF components results in an exceptional 80 and 120 degree horizontal constant directivity dispersion respectively, this is maintained down to approximately 250 Hz, which is an outstanding feature for a passive 3-way system. The mechanical and acoustical design enables flown vertical arrays of up to twenty four loudspeakers. It can be used in columns of purely V8 loudspeakers or combined with V12s and / or with V-SUBs.  The V-Series system is supported by an extensive range of accessories and transport solutions facilitating ease of setup and mobility.

The d&b V-Series with its economical 3-way passive design, remarkable clarity as well as extraordinary dynamic bandwidth, impressive power capability and headroom make it not only a highly efficient and flexible stand-alone system ranging from small to large configurations, but having the same driver arrangement and horizontal dispersion it is the veritable complement to the J-Series. The V-Series consists of the V8 and V12 loudspeakers and the actively driven high performance cardioid V subwoofer, which are all matched and constructed to be mechanically compatible both in flown or ground stacked arrays.
